got a 2010 forester, its pretty cool. I like the styling, it doesn't look feminine like the CRV or ugly like the Rav 4 interior is just fine for me, I dont need flowers on my dash board.

I dont care what they say, this is a great car. Subaru has the best AWD system in the world!!!

The market for the Subbie is not the Audi crowd. It is for folks, young and old, who are outdoor oriented. They don't really fuss over plain gauges, styling cues, or being pretentious.

However, the base Forester skimps bad on normal 'outdoor use" items that were readily available prior; body molding, roof rack, mud flaps etc. But, nothing that Weathertech, Rally Mud Flaps, and Thule can't solve more cheaply than OEM.

The new Forester is on a more plain even field with some of the other compact SUVs: Ford Escape, Rav 4, & Honda CRV..

...RIGHT..

...AND NONE OF THOSE OTHER SUVs HAVE A TRUE SYMETRICAL AWD SYSTEM.

If you want a real AWD vehicle, get a Subaru.

I think they missed the point of the forester

[vjovcic]

I really think they went of topic. "Plastic Feel"? "boring Dash"? but a mercedes or a audi... besides, you should be focusing on the road not the dash! what else you want in it? No Sat Nav in it a negative thing? 2010 forester has it and the price is ridiculous, rather buy a tom tom or something and i can use it on any car i want... Subaru s***s on even some European cars

GREAT CARS but you have to know you can afford the up keep.

My valve cover gaskets went, $400. A vacuum occured under the manifold $1000.

The turbo went $1400.

I wanted to keep the car but could not afford it, the dealer was 40 miles away and I had to take off work to get there and back.

Get one if you have the lifestyle to keep it running correctly.

@JAYFROMHARLEM I agree! I've got a WRX and a Forester. I love them both and can say that the Forester is a very capable vehicle on and off road. These clowns are tripping, but they are also from Canada, where they can actually get the japanese versions easier than we can in the US. Maybe that is why they are complaining about the interior and such. Oh well, Subaru FTW!!!

Forester has the best awd i have a automatic 4 gear and it does anything any other truck does rav crv are shit

[Descartes619]

@FondoFodera i agree. the awd is simply the best and you can do so many things with a subaru!

[ktonkin3]

I wish they were more up-front that those prices are in Canadian dollars, not US.
